Those people wanting a 'higher resolution' are you kidding?? it's not bloody digital, this recording is over 80 years old, you are lucky it is in colour! I think it is very advanced cinema for it's age..
The fact it is 80 years old, or even 180, has nothing to do with the resolution with with it's uploaded.And is in fact available at 480 (vs this is 240) also on the You Tube if you search for it. And since the original was in color, why are we lucky that the copy is too.
What would I give to live in such an elegant shoe, would kill for this movie!!!! Oooh and I'd like that prince to wave his wand over me, kind of a kinky costume
I haven't been able to stop watching this! All of the computer-generated foolishness of modern Hollywood can never compete with this style of production. Imagine seeing this on the gigantic screen at someplace like the Century here in Baltimore!
Absolutely enchanting. I really do not believe Hollywood is capable of producing something as charming as this now. The magic just is not there any more, it was lost a long time ago.
it a great life was a part technicolor production time warner is anti two strip they took woemn in the show and the other number and tryed to get rid of the green which dulled the color up to appeal to the popular classic fans they hate two color technicolor especially if there is no star in it but tcm owns this unpopualr classic so they can show it without any copy right fees at 3 am in the morning to 8 30 in the morning
Compare with "Ah's gonna smack muh bitch" (repeat six times) sung (if you can call it that) by male teenagers in torn undershirts, applauded by screaming female ones.
The dance was staged by Sammy Lee, who had done the dances in "It's a Great Life" with the Duncan Sisters, another surviving early Technicolor film. The dancers are Albertina Rausch's as in the Blue daughter of Heaven number from this film.
Great to see this again after a while - it seems better than ever ! Why do I get emotional when the dancers holding hands arrive at 3.30 - it gets me every time ! Anyone else feel it ?
In 1930, we were offering the youngsters things like this great production number. Today, we give them the Teletubbies, those insipid blobs. Please don't even suggest to me that represents progress, no matter how many psychologists it took to turn the Teletubbie awfulness.
The stagy, static camera set-ups, appearing so primitive in these early talkies, seem to work very well here somehow. The song is great, the color vibrant, and you can see the dancers full body and appreciate their technique. Its like a time capsule record of early musical theatre.
That's incredibly cute and much fun to watch! Lots of hard work and much imaginaion certainly is evident here - just wonderful film history. Thanks for posting!

Dancing like that helps Your body take a good through poop! Did all The Children go Pee Pee before the dance? Milk Milk Lemonade, Round the corner...FUDGE is made!
Absolutely, life-enhancingly joyous. This must be up there in the top half dozen of the campest clips ever to grace You Tube! Bless you stjn00 .... Great Work!
WONDERFUL waldio22 is right This clip is highly addictive I can watch it endlessly; must watch it at least once a day to insure happy thoughts ! wish I could understand all of the words .

@tenorlord New York audiences were hard to please back then. It took a great deal to get a rise out of them.

This is a request. OK, it can be found elsewhere on YouTube but I think this one look better. Enjoy!
Better still, and more to enjoy, if you could re-upload at higher rate than puny 240? Possibly for you to do that. Thanks.
